Was wondering if some of you more experienced zukers could help me out. I want to take my stock coil springs off and replace them with coil springs that will give me at least 2 inchs of additional lift. Can not afford to just go buy them. Are there some heep coil springs or something I can get ? I put a 3 inch body lift on. Stuffed 36 inch super swampers under it, That took ALL of my available cash, and now I need at least 2 inchs of suspension lift.

Thanks

Heep TJ rear springs will give ya a coupla inches, but if ya go too far you need to deal with raising the rear wishbone mount an inch. Sidekick 4door Sport front springs are supposed to give you an inch and a half or so lift, but ya gotta be careful of your half-shaft angles.

Now I've told ya more than I really know.

The above is my opinion. It is subject (like all my opinions) to debate, disagreement, rude gestures, and loud raspberries.

If you don't want to spend to much cash, use spring spacers and flip the front strut mount
